The device does have some downsides though. You'll get eMMC storage, rather than the superior SSD; and based on our experience with ultra-low-cost Windows tablets, the manufacturer's stated battery life of "up to 6 hours" is likely to be far lower in real-world usage.

There's no indication of when Microsoft will stop offering this latest discount, so if you're thinking of grabbing the tablet at its current price, it may be best not to wait too long.
